heavennoseven said... I've just been asked 2 babysit a green&a purple figit friend while their 'moms' r showering... Is this my 1st glimpse of the future?

What is she talking about?

reply; She is talking about a toy (similar to the old Furby) that one of her daughters must have gotten for Christmas. So she is watching this toy.I guess she thinks this is what being a grandparent will be like.

The girls seem a little old for this toy-I think the novelty will wear off soon; so much for a $50 toy. My daughter had a Furby at age 8 or so... would think they would want more things like make-up, books, clothes, nail polish, CDs, computer games etc. Kate is trying to keep adolescence at bay, mush like her infantalizing the tups,...so sad.

"The girls seem a little old for this toy-I think the novelty will wear off soon; so much for a $50 toy."

======

The girls are in the age group that finds FIJITS (not Figits, Kate) amazing. For now, anyway. My 11-year-old got "Sage" from her grandparents. She loves it. I think it's annoying (but the dancing is kind of cute!)...

I never find her kids; antics as funny as she does...like the 'funny things kids say' part of her blog....ugh. Poor Cara. You know she will be teased at school about her weight ( which is fine IMO) when her classmates read this or hear about it...

Oh my! of course I meant Cara's weight is fine but she might be teased anyway- there have been a few unfounded 'chubby' comments here & there and how Kate hates anyone who's not as fit as she now is...so sorry and thanks for clarifying , Sharla! I am pro-kids all the way!!Teasing is bullying and I'm sure the G8 have already had their share.

Well – it’s finally calming down here enough that I can reflect on our Christmas Day celebrations! It was a standard Christmas day here based on our traditions of years past. Alarms went off at 7:30 followed by 8 chattering noisemakers clad in festive pajamas bounding down the stairs! Next came the Ohhhhs and Ahhhhs and shrieks of joy once the tree and the presents displayed underneath came into view! These turned to long and loud explosions of excitement, which were quickly replaced by echoing requests to open stockings! This was all before 8am, mind you!

Once our stockings were unloaded and enjoyed, I corralled all eight to the table to quickly scarf (I’d use my word “snarffle” but I would be attacked because it’s not in the dictionary) down some homemade cinnamon buns and egg nog and/or hot chocolate before moving to the long awaited Christmas morning present opening session!

A rather surprising peaceful seating arrangement was worked out amongst the kids as I quickly cleaned up breakfast and I marveled to myself how peaceful EVERYTHING is when there are presents on the horizon!

And then it began – I chose and handed out a present to each child. Once everyone had one, I announced “open!” and the ripping and tearing began. This process never grew old….Once all the presents were opened, the gratefulness, thank you’s, hugs and screams of joy continued to the very end!

Some of the highlights of the day were:- Our new Betta fish, “Fabio” (He was the last minute Christmas miracle, by the way..I had received flowers from as a “thank you” and they arrived in a fish bowl, which spurred my idea!). Mady has been asking for a pet fish for as long as she could talk, I think!- Fijit Friends, one for each Hannah, Leah, and Alexis- Card making sets for each little girl- “Grow a frog” kit for Aaden- Legos for Collin- Laser tag for Joel- Programmable robot for Cara- Pearl necklace for Mady that we had to harvest the pearl for (very interesting!)- And many many many more wonderful things….

My gift from my kids was my long desired “panini maker” and I was so happy to receive it… Or anything at all! This was the first year that Mady and Cara were insistent on shopping for me and, honestly, I don’t typically receive much for Christmas so it was fun to see their excitement when watching me open such a wonderful gift from them! They are so thoughtful!

My very favorite gift, however, was truly the excitement and happiness on my kids faces as they opened each gift. Sounds like a mom cliche, but I really mean it! Each year becomes more about the memories, tradition and bonding and much less about actual gifts for me…

The kids took turns, waited for gifts patiently, were happy for each others excitement, cleaned up willingly, and slathered me with plenteous doses of wonderful hugs, kisses and thank you’s! They were truly grateful for each and every item that they unwrapped – from slippers to gadgets!This was genuinely a wonderful Christmas and I am really enjoying these “younger” years of many gifts, child like wonder and great anticipation… Because I know that the teen years of expensive, small electronics, gift cards and perhaps even some resulting anticlimactic Christmas morning celebrations are just around the corner….. And worse yet, the years to follow that… When my kids are grown up and these years are just faded memories…

Another Christmas, another day of magical memories that I’ll cherish forever…. Christmas with my 8 kids is the most awe-inspiring experience each year and I am, once again, so very blessed to be their mom!

Kateplusmy8 Kate GosselinHi all! What's new? Finally had a second to find my phone and tweet you a hello! :)------------We now know for sure that all the tweets are total fabrication of her imagination. The chick is never seen without her pink phone. She never puts it down.

Annies - I thought the exact same thing. THe candlight part of the service, when everything goes quiet, and you sing Silent Night, is one of the most moving parts of the service to me. I would have been so sad to have seen a parent steal away the meaning from her kids by taking pictures.

Reminds me of last year in the service when a mother sat in front of us the whole time on her blackberry. It was distracting to say the least. I wondered why she bothered coming.

Annies said...Kate tweeting about going to Christmas Eve service and that candlelight pic taking was inappropriate.

Some of the highlights of the day were:- Our new Betta fish, “Fabio” (He was the last minute Christmas miracle, by the way..I had received flowers from as a “thank you” and they arrived in a fish bowl, which spurred my idea!).

Let me just say this: I have a seven year old, and there is no way that every kid waited until 7:30 on their own. No, no way. That was the time she set as acceptable and allowed them to go downstairs. And she made them eat breakfast first? What a controlling wench. She has to drain the fun out of every single thing--even Christmas. I'm not saying you should let the kids wake up at 4 am (sometimes, yes, they're up that early), but 6 or 6:30 seems fair. Be flexible!

Let me just say this: I have a seven year old, and there is no way that every kid waited until 7:30 on their own. No, no way. That was the time she set as acceptable and allowed them to go downstairs.

-----------------------

Looking back on Christmas as a child, one of the best memories is having to wait until we were allowed to go downstairs to open our gifts. We'd wake up at 6 or even earlier, but we didn't wake our parents and we knew that we were not allowed to go downstairs until my dad had everything set up (camera, home movies) and my mother had the coffee going, her hair combed, last minute things put under the tree. It drove us nuts, but those were the rules and we always followed them.

In fact, this year my son was asking me about Christmas "back in the day" and told him how, Christmas morning, there was a routine we followed. We weren't excited about it at the time, but now it is one of the things that I remember best about Christmas - FINALLY hearing those words, "Okay. You can come down now," and then being able to run downstairs to see what Santa brought, with both my parents sitting next to the tree. My father loved the holiday so much...in fact, I thought that he was "Mr. Christmas."

Toy Robots start around $25 and go up into the thousands. So she could have bought something "economical". also, keep in mind, she now has to "out do" Jon on the gifts.

This wasn't a toy robot. This was a new tech toy. They are called Fijits. They can be programmed to respond, dance, whatever - plus they are squishy, not like a mechanical robot. They come in different colors and each has a name. They sell for $50.Did she say she bought the Fijit, or was it a gift from Jon?

Looking back on Christmas as a child, one of the best memories is having to wait until we were allowed to go downstairs to open our gifts.

-----------------------I agree. And I have very similar memories, and my kids do have to wait until the lights are on, the dog is out, etc. But I think what frustrates me and many on here is that there is always give and take when you're a parent and some flexibility. Maybe I'd hoped they'd rise at 7:15, but if they get up at 6:40, oh well. With Kate, there is none. The kids give, and she takes. I'm sure she decided 7:30 would be the time and come hell or high water, that's what it ended up being.

I think she clarified on her web blog that each 'little' girl received a Fijit, and Cara had got another robot that sounded pretty fancy...the Fijits may be the great saving from Target she had mentioned earlier...she didn't say what Jon gave them. I remember once though he was generous and gave the twins earrings from Tiffany's.Just because he missed them when Kate had them on a trip and they came home early to finish school a couple of years back (on the show)

As for the flowers Kate received she mysteriously just said they were a 'thank you' gift although she usually receives 'very little." How can she say that????

Yea I know its Katie. I was just trying to annoy her...here are her latest tweets. Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin Meant Sydney... Oops. Hate it when that happens... 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply » Kateplusmy8 Kate Gosselin I'm sick with a cold 2 welcome in the new year...Not so fun or exciting huh? But Happy New Year all the same 2 all of my tweety friends! XO

I wonder if she knows those grow-a-frogs live for 20 years. They're also illegal in lots of states but the company (based in Florida) ships them everywhere anyway. My daughter won a science basket that included one and we donated it to her class. Her teacher had been wanting a class pet and was glad to have it. And they live in bottled spring water, the stuff from the tap can make them sick. Talk about high maintenance! The kids will have fun with it, though.

If Kate was bad for making her kids wait until after breakfast for opening presents, I guess I am, too! We didn't even get everything opened before we left for church (11 a.m. service). And the last time Christmas was on a Sunday church started at 10 so we didn't open any presents (she did check out her stocking and unwrapped Santa presents) until after we got home. When I was a kid, if my brother and I weren't up at five, our dad woke us up. Now, we sleep in a little, but I don't think our Christmases are any less magical for getting a couple of more hours of sleep. It sounds like the Gosselin kids had a great Christmas. I wonder when they got to see their dad.

You will never FIND time for anything. If you want time, you must MAKE it.

She will never find time to watch the kids, cook a nice, hearty supper for the kids, take them to church on a regular basis, help them with their homework, go under the van and retrieve the piece of PAPER that blew out of the van, but claimed it was a waterbottle.

She wants time to tweet, date Steve, botox, photoshoots, interview, fake clip coupons, shop, fake run marathons, on a scooter or golf cart, walk the Red Carpet at the Emmys and DWTS.

Is this her pathetic life now, tweeting and loving people who let's face it, could be anyone.Imagine this is her audience.They are not paying a salary Kate, so soon, they too will become redundant. If the only friends she has online are invisible strangers, then that says something about how low she has sunk from only wanting to mix with the stars and rub elbows with whomever could help her career.Accepting gifts etc from her tweeties, is really scraping the barrel of grifting 101.She is beyond help!

This women has found a new way to stay in the public using tweeter,enough...I have 3 kids, when they were little , i didn't have time to shower, and i was a stay at home mom...What does she tweeter that is so important to read.. Any mention of her standing on a cold field watching a game, a recite, brownie troop, anything that these kids do beside watch mommy run around the house...Let this women go way, before she pimps out these kids again , because she showed there is still interest in her and the kids...I signed everything over the years to get these kids off tv, didn't matter... These kids have family on both sides.. The brother and sister in law tried , but they didn't go far enough,, i would of video taped this women and showed how she really treats these kids, and document how often she is away from the kids, This is no CEO of a company that has to go way, like she claims she does to support her kids..Talking pictures of the kids at Church, and posting them to show what a good mom she is ,How low is that.. Little Stevie boy has humiliated his wife, unless they are separated..No amount of money my husband makes is worth me being embarrassed, or my children, so i don't know what the real deal with his wife is..We are all the reason a women close to 40, with no talent, no personality, actually a nasty personality still is clinging on to the hope she will be a star.. Do not pay attention to any thing she writes, she loves it.. that is enough reason not to read it...

So, Kate keeps tweeting Roma Downey -- I know that Roma tweeted her back once, but seems to be ignoring her now. This is her tweet to Roma yesterday: @RealRomaDowney ...driving home from bus stop jamming to little angels sing the abc's cd! Kids are loving it! :) great work! Okay, my 7 yr old son would be very, very insulted if I played this for him. 7 yr olds should know their abc's and how to count. This CD is clearly marketed for preschoolers. Why is she playing it for the tups? Here is the marketing: http://www.lifeway.com/Product/little-angels-sing-the-abcs-cd-P005484010 I am sure it is a very fine product for 3 and 4 year olds ... kids who are 7 going on 8, well... not so much. Give it up Kate.

Oh wait, found a new link that has samples and played it for my Mr. 7 http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=CD91916 He told me that it was "lame" and when I asked if he would like to listen to this he rolled his eyes and said "I learned my abc's in preschool Mom" I listened to most of the tracks and actually like it and would buy it if I had 4 year old. I think it is cute and has good music... but def not age appropriate. Again, she is trying to keep up the image of the tups being younger than they are.

She must not be headed to Bermuda this weekend after all. She tweeted yesterday " Just got home from a work trip and looking forward to a weekend with my kids". So maybe Diamonds and Caviar did not pan out after all? I would have thought she would have jumped at that chance. Maybe it was too expensive and it was NOT a freebie..just an invite?

HEFFNER ROAD said... What would she have contribute if she went to Bahama? This was too rich for her. Multi Billionaires are there.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The Bahama's aren't just for Billionaires, it's one of the cheapest places in the Carribean to vacation. You can get a 3 night package for $200-300. The airfare is probably double that. I have no idea what Kate had planned.

It wasn't merely a trip to the Bahamas that Kate was contemplating. There was a rumor that she was invited to a specific event. As others have said anyone may be invited anywhere. Apparently this was an invitation to be paid for by Kate and asking for donations. She appears to have ignored it.

I bet she grifted a new coffeepot out of them for mentioning their name. I also noticed she said today is a "press day", when she mentioned how busy of a day she was gonna have. She mentioned "Extra and something about "Dr Drew Lifechangers". Every time I think maybe she is going away, she keeps showing up on television. She said she would be sure to let her "followers" know when they could watch her. You'd think she was the leader of a cult or something! What does she have going on except that cruise and why would Dr. Drew want to talk to her?

It can't last forever...It won't last much longer..She has nothing to offer...I guess they put her on as a filler when they can't get a REAL celebrity for the show...I know they HATE her on Showbiz Tonight on HLN..They never mention her anymore and if they did, it would only be as a negative...I think she must have pissed AJ Hammer or whoever he is off when she was on last...I remember him talking about it and referring to her being a bad guest(Duh)...And she was never invited back...She is hanging on a cliff by her fingernails trying to stay relevant...But she is fighting a losing battle...She doesn't have the number of fans needed to be the STAH she wants to be..Without those numbers, she can only become less relevant with each passing day...With no TV show, people forget you...except the small 60,000 or so fans she has on Twitter...To her that seems like probably tons of people, but she needs to see how many followers REAL celebrities have...Maybe that would humble her a bit..:)

I own a keurig and while at first they seem great, buying those little pods at 12 bucks a box is not something i want to do all the time. and to me they arent near as good as some coffee i grind myself for a regular coffeemaker. my opinion i know but if k8 thinks they are great i hope they continue to grift her some coffee pods because they are going to get expensive!

Kate often takes to her Twitter to keep her fans updated on her life as well as to answer any questions that they might have. One fan specifically asked what it is Kate now does for a living. She replied:

"I'm a mom of course and a tv personality, author etc"

OK Kate..What CURRENT TV shows and books are you making money from NOW? You are a FORMER tv reality show personality, and you wrote a couple of books that didn't sell well or weren't even published...The only successful one you had, your EX friend BETH wrote for you...REMEMBER???You currently do nothing for a living except beg for attention and freebies...

That depends how much coffee you drink. I have one cup before work everyday, you can't really make one cup in a coffee maker, so you end up wasting a lot of coffee just for one cup. I use my Keuring during the week, and if I'm goning to be home on the weekend I gind my own and make a pot. Using a Keuring is still a lot cheaper then stopping and picking up a cup on the way to work. Now if Kate's making more then a couple of cups in her Keruig, yo are correct.

You gotta love how she had to name-drop The Grove and her interview with Extra(so all of her teeny-bopper Twitter pals would be so impressed. She is so self-involved, and desperate for anything that will give her even a few minutes of television time. Surely Extra did not fly her out to L.A. for one interview? Wonder what else she has goin on?

Here is Katie latest tweet Kateplusmy8: Just tired and run down I guess... Speaking of running, I just did a little over 5mi on the treadmill...guess I'm not TOO sick, huh Hey Kate..I am in Florida for the winter...nice temp...today 80 degrees.

Heffner Road...I think all of those people get paid a percentage of her earnings...Since that would be a big fat ZERO at the moment, I don't see how these people can afford to hang around too much longer..And that is when you will stop seeing FINALLY, Miss Katie Irene...:)Unless they are all as stupid as she is, they should be getting the message loud and clear that the public is DONE with all things Gosselin...

Could she be any more obvious about trying to grab Keurig's attention? Every other tweet mentions Keurig and how great they are. Probably hoping she will get a gig as a spokeswoman due to all of her Twitter support! Seems like if it is not how much she runs, it is how much she loves Keurig! And she also mentioned in one tweet a few days ago that she "forgot" what the date is for her upcoming Dr. Drew airing ( it is Feb.22). Like she has THAT many tv interviews coming up, right?

except the small 60,000 or so fans she has on Twitter...To her that seems like probably tons of people, but she needs to see how many followers REAL celebrities have...Maybe that would humble her a bit..:)***************

Those aren't fans on Twitter. Those numbers were bought. Don't forget, even if she has "followers" it doesn't necessarily mean that they are fans. Many of them could be following her because they are haters and just want to see what she's been up to.The few remaining sheeple she has on Twitter each has several names, so even that doesn't count, and there are only a half dozen or so who are regular supporters.

she is so insecure she has to post crap like that to bolster her ego. funniest part is she no doubt made it up.

======

I don't think that she made it up. Funny thing is that it most likely happened because she did look good in that issue. The sad part about it is that she had to tweet it. You just don't do that - you keep it to yourself because you know that it was photo shopped, and so does nearly everyone else who saw it. You certainly don't call attention to it which is likely to generate more negative comments!

Awkward:When a woman tells me in groc store:'my husband saw you in ppl mag& sd 'Kate is smokin' hot!' That never gets easier...what2say?!

I was flabbergasted that she had the gall to tweet that. And by saying that "it never gets easier" she is implying that it's happened more than once. Even if a woman really said that to her, she lacks self-awareness to know it's not in good taste to tweet the compliment to the world. Besides, if she's so smoking hot, why doesn't she have a man in her life (besides Steve on the payroll)? To get one, she will need a soul transplant, not more plastic surgery.

This morning on twitter K8 posted a pic of her childrens' "breakfast". The had a mini-muffin and a strip of turkey bacon. Some plates had a few spoonfuls of scrambled egg. Eggs looked homemade but muffins were commercial. SOmeone tweeted that this was an insufficient breakfast. K8 tried to claim that the muffin was a 200 calorie cheesecake muffin (so healthy!) and chided the tweeter not to questing her mothering! We have been subject to her wonderful V-Day plans, heartshaped pancakes and muffins, and then see her pic of a store bought mini muffin serving as breakfast.

Wow. A fan tweeted to Kate that she did an ice bath after her run. Kate asked what that does. That is so sad. Kate at one point was an RN. I am sure she was a crappy RN but I still can't believe she has never heard of athletes doing this. Or maybe since she doesnt really run, she would not know how athletes may swell aftewards. lol.

Two days..no communications teplusmy8: Just saw the cutest program at my kids school..I sent 6 costumes complete w/ wigs2school& I was greeted by 6 adorable clowns when I arrived! Here is one of Kate's stupid tweets

Now Kate's throwing Jon under the bus again. Some woman in England on twitter commented how bad Jon was to the children on the last show he was on, and Kate was never that way, and Kate self righteously says taking problems out on innocent children is not right. Kate's twitter this past week has been maddening.

What does that woman from England know? They haven't seen all the shows, and they haven't been tortured by Kate in the media like the people in the US have.

Did you see on Twitter she was lamenting the fact that she SO wishes they could go to the Outer Banks of North Carolina this summer. A fan had mentioned that her family was going, and Kate said "kids need sand and sun. I SO wish we were able to go this summer". And of course someone had to reply that they could set her up somewhere in South Florida. SO before you know it..she will be getting a free trip somewhere, courtesy of her Twitter fans. I find it hard to believe she could not afford to take those kids somewhere on their spring break. She seems too obsessed with getting her daily runs in, and spending all day on Twitter, where she can get endless adoration! The kids as usual, are an afterthought.

On her twitter, Kate was encouraging people to go to her kateplus8 site to see her blog about a "globe." Go and read it. So, so sad. One of her daughters admits to tearing up the globe, but not until Kate and the other kids blame poor Joel. Kate cries when the girl admits what she has done. She goes on and on about the girl. Poor little Joel. I wonder if Kate apologized to him. Why didn't Kate cry for what he went through?

I just read her blog about the globe incident. All I can say is WOW. She is so proud of herself and the way she handled this. My heart breaks for those little children. It sounded like an inquisition. General Kate brow beating her troops. She was "disgusted, frustrated and disappointed" Those poor kids. NO MORE WIRE COAT HANGERS>

First of all, those poor kids had their lives displayed before the camera. Now the cameras are gone, and she'll still reporting every mistake and drama that goes on in their fsmily...nothing is sscred or privste. I feel sorry for the older girls, they are at an sage where they are very concerned about their privacy..and big mouth mom spills the beans about EVERYTHING!

The other thing that struck me were the following quotes about integrity and honesty.

"I was frustrated and disappointed at this point because I felt like I had a group of lying kids on my hands – something I have always harped against!!!!"

"I reminded her how very important it is to “always tell the truth”

This is coming from a mother who lies left, right and center. She obviously didn't get the memo thst children learn from what you DO more than what you say.

She's something alright. Grill the kids, encourage all of them to pick someone who 'looks' guilty, tell which kid suggested who the guiltiest looking one was, listen to dear daughter admit to doing it, cry/hug/blah blah blah with her, tell her to secretly tell Joel she's sorry for letting him be accused, don't tell the other kids it wasn't Joel (even though she could have just said something like 'I have been told who did it, it was not Joel and it is over'. She would not have had to rat out her favorite and Joel would have been vindicated. But OH NO, just let HER off the hook and the hell with the real victim in this story.

one of her stalkers suggested she go on The Apprentice. She tweeted that actually they had been asking her to come on for quite some time, but it does not fit in her schedule. OMG who is she trying to fool. The Apprentice is for charity and THAT is the reason she can't fit it into her schedule.

Just saw the Twitter war between Em Tanner and Kate...Apparently, Em designed a calender for Kate FREE and gave it to her if she had a link to it while they were doing the show...A fan asked Kate where she could find the calender and kate lied, telling her she found it online..Kate started tweeting about how they USED her to make money off the calender and she never got anything for it...(well, she did get a free calender, but I guess that wasn't "enough"...)Wow...she really can't get along with anybody...I am convinced of that after these past twitter wars...WHO airs this stuff in public like this??

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/03/kate-gosselin-twitter-fightRadaronline has an article about the twitter dispute with Em Tanner and Kate. (On Kate's twitter page.)In it Em Tanner says some very nice things about Jon.

You can view it here: (I hope) http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/03/kate-gosselin-twitter-fight

There is no way kate came up with cleaning the inside glass panels in her oven door by herself. She had to read it somewhere. Everything just came together on her "invention". She just happened to have a small drain snake and swiffer pads and came up with that?

Her latest entry today mentioned that even though she had a sick kid today, she was still able to run, thanks to @sears and her new Nordic Track treadmill (and she mentioned the model number specifically). Maybe she thinks Sears will give her a deal now that she has mentioned their store specifically. Heck, maybe they sent her a free treadmill! Whatever the case, she needs to get something going because her "celebrity" status is fading fast..I guess she still has her cruise that is apparently almost full (according to Twitter).

she needs to get something going because her "celebrity" status is fading fast..I guess she still has her cruise that is apparently almost full (according to Twitter).

===================

The SHIP is nearly full, the Kate part of it is not. They were expecting about 200 to do the Kate cruise, but from figuring out how many actually are paying to have a love-in with Kate, it looks like it's less than 30.

She sure has been silent on Twitter about the cancelled cruise. When it was planned, it was all she could tweet about. Now it is like she is ashamed to bring up the subject. She ought to just address it on the website or something in a statement (maybe she will or has already) because I think some of her obsessed "fans" were really looking forward to going.

SO,what does it mean when ALL the yellow schoolbusdrivers wave 2me each am&pm when I'm in MY blackbus doing same? Am I a schoolbusdriver 2?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

kate is jealous that she has to drive the kids to the bus stop and not get a paycheck for it like the other bus drivers do. She just made fun of the bus drivers, like they are beneath her. They are human beings, kate. There are kind people in this world, including bus drivers that wave and say hello to other people.

This is why she had pictures made at the bus stop to get compensated for her driving time! IMHO.

I want them to ask kate to come back to DWTS! Let her show her arse again to the mass audience! When the mass audience finds out that ABC will install ANOTHER dance floor in her basement so she can practice----Wait! ANOTHER ONE? What happened to the FIRST ONE?

Well, you know kate. She had it removed and now wants another one to practice! When something no longer suits her to her benefit, she gets rid of it as fast as she can!

I don't think a dance floor with mirrors will be installed in Kate's basement. Remember she had 10 million fans who watched the last season of KJ+8 at that time, the divorce was being filed. So she had pull with ABC but not now. She would have to do things their way. Get an apt in LA (she will do this and she will let Jon and his new g/f take over the kids for as long as she is gone) no doubt about that. She will not miss her kids.

What I want to see is someone like Max wanting to end his reign on DWTS by torturing Kate during rehearsals and not enduring anything negative she has to say. She needs a Max to dance with her. He is so angry with DWTS now that he might just do this to get even with the show.

Kate would last maybe 1 show as you know there has to be someone worse than her that would get voted off first. She will try to milk this if they ask her to be on the dumb show. Can't you see her boobs in one of those sleezy outfits, you know she will want to dress sleezy this time, new body and all. Fun, it's gonna be fun.

Kate hangs on our every word isn't that just too rich? I love it. Only I don't hate her. She thinks we are her haters. Hate is a strong word, wonder if she was born saying that word hate.

Surely they won't invite Kate to be on the DWTS all-star show! Unless they want her to be the comic relief, she would be the last one I would want on there (and I really like that show). You can tell from her tweets, that part of her would LOVE to be asked (and she loves the attention she is getting from her "tweetie" friends, who are lobbying for her to be on it. She would love to show off her new body, which is in a lot better shape than when she was on the show (but I bet her dancing skills have not improved!).

I don't know where to put this, but I noticed that Kate had a new photo on her twitter account. It is from a "celebrity news" site. Splash. Wow. She used a paparazzi photo. Can we say copyright infringement? Or perhaps it was her photo to start with....

Kate treats her children like little kids, as she always has, all because she is a total control freak. This is why her kids who were turning 7-yes, that's right, SEVEN! were sitting at the kitchen table drawing ideas for their birthday cake in HIGHCHAIRS! The same highchairs we always saw them in when they were 2 years old. So Sad.

She grifted three times this week. First, for a small tractor so Cara could learn to mow; a trip to the beach, and then the Paris trip. From Gather...

"Leave it to Kate Gosselin to leave no stone unturned in her quest to let the world know the desires of her children via Twitter. That's right, Kate was at it again Friday (June 29) when she tweeted about where one of her kids wanted to go on vacation.

"My Joely is lying on the sofa near kitchen,quietly waiting 4dinner. Out of blue:'I really wanna go2 Paris 2c the Eiffel Tower!' Sweet boy!" tweeted Kate Gosselin to her fans and followers on Twitter. Now at first glance, this seems quite innocent. The kid is daydreaming of going to Paris, France to visit the Eiffel Tower.

The thing is, most Twitter posts from Kate tend to have a second meaning. How long will it be before someone donates frequent flyer miles up a vacation fund to send sweet little "Joely" to Paris... for free. Make no mistake about it, Kate Gosselin made sure her Twitter followers knew that her "sweet" child wanted to go on a trip to Paris, France. Now it is up to Kate's followers to find a way to make this dream come true."

Kate gets sadder and sadder in her attempts to get more free material possessions.

Sad that whatever a family life the twins had is long over as they now are working at raising the Little Kids.

I also think that they are all separated by the Little Kids and then there are the Twins. Kate favors her twins because they can do work for her.

What in the world happened, someone sent her a bread maker, the most expensive one and now the kids are eating bread morning, noon and night? Anything that requires less work with her.

Someone should get her off of that twitter.Hoping everyone has a peaceful Holiday and that the fire in Colo is put out pronto. So many around the USA are suffering from the weather and the effects of storms. We need to pray for our neighbors and our military.Hugs

Now she is sadden that the latest game that all the kids are playing and keeping occupied did not ask HER to play with them.

Why would they?

So they could hear her screeches and moaning and whining and gripping? This is nothing kate! Get used to it. They are getting older and they are going to wean off you and by the time the tups get to 11 12 13 watch out.

It blows my mind that all you have to do is sit or lay twitting to the world that you didn't get asked to play with your kids. Couldn't you at least change the kids bedding and have it ready when they got ready for bed that night?

Katherine said, What in the world happened, someone sent her a bread maker, the most expensive one and now the kids are eating bread morning, noon and night? Anything that requires less work with her.

--------

Isn't it more difficult to buy all the ingredients for bread, get everything ready, use the bread maker than it is to run to the store and buy it off the shelf? I never used a bread machine, but I would think if she wants to take the lazy way out, she'd just buy it already made.

It is sad that Kate dribbles nonsense on Twitter all day long. She invents movies the kids make as though they are one happy family.

I truly feel sorry for those kids being kept in that house, not allowed to live normal lives with friends, but everyday, they do what Kate tells them to do and they are not allowed out of that fence. It is sorry.

We do say they have an inground pool, land to run around, but think of how we all lived when we were kids. Even if we had siblings, we still went to our friend's houses, didn't we? We shared Summer excitement.

The kids are being punished because they are not on TV any longer. Very sad. She has them convinced they are celebrities and people won't leave them alone.

Guess if you stopped posting their photos on your web site, no one would know who you are as you have already changed since the end of that show. All the photos are smile, show teeth, pose, hold that pose, Steve take the picture and how sad is that? Take the photos off the web site Kate and stop pimping your kids.

Guess if you stopped posting their photos on your web site, no one would know who you are as you have already changed since the end of that show

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't think her website has that much activity to keep her relevant. As long as she's announcing everything she does on Twitter, people will know who she is. At least her few remaining fans will be able to shout out praises to her. She still posts photos on Twitter.

Menu Mondays on her site have disappeared; parts of her website are still "coming soon." She lost interest in it. What she has left is CC, plus Twitter, and she's even gone relatively quiet on Twitter.

Kate can say she bakes bread or she makes 4th of July cakes or that the recipes are homemade when she opens a can but we will never ever know what or whether or not she ever does anything. She has to write, she has to communicate with her Sheeple and if that topic is what is of importance, she or her ghost writer writes about it.

If a company gives her another free gift, she has to write about it so the company will get their money's worth.

I just don't believe anything she writes about or says and you know with the kids being kept in the basement or the chicken coop or the pool, well they won't be talking except when Joel asks about Paris, then Kate writes about that, hoping for a trip.

She complains she doesn't go anywhere, she never went anywhere as a kid. I think Kate always wanted to travel but she figured the only way to do it was to get publicity, do write books and scream at the kids on TV, which is what she use to do all the time.

It would be interesting to see a show when the tups are about 10 and Kate shouts orders and those 3 boys shout right back at her, lol lol. The day is a coming.After all, Mady was a good example to those little tups.

"I just don't believe anything she writes about or says and you know with the kids being kept in the basement or the chicken coop or the pool, well they won't be talking..."

__________________________________

The kids go to school nine months out of the year, and are gone for nine hours a day, five days a week. They are also with Jon two weekends a month, or more. I would think in that time they would talk, either to their classmates, teachers, and/or other adults.

"I just don't believe anything she writes about or says and you know with the kids being kept in the basement or the chicken coop or the pool, well they won't be talking..."-----------------------------------I really doubt with the high temps we have been experiencing in Berks County that the kids have been kept in the chicken coop. Where do some people on here get their facts?

Never would I accuse anyone of putting their kids in the chicken coop. Rather it was a way of saying she does not let those children out to experience friendships, enjoyment of other family members, etc.

As paranoid as Kate is, is as paranoid as those kids will be. They have had one whole year in school and are adjusting to being like normal kids. Then Kate gets a bug up her butt, like this marathon thing and drags them around the country, exposes them to crowds of people, then back to the McMansion.

My personal opinion is this are very confused children who would like to be like their friends from school, not have their photos plasted on web sites, with all smiles, all teeth and a photo is taken.

If Kate wants to get a job, go back in to "show business" then do it on her own.

Jon gives an interview in People calling her a good mother. She strolls down memory lane about one July 4th when the twins were small and how they decorated the coach.

No, I don't think either Jon or Kate put those kids first. Jon said he wouldn't mind going back into show business. Kate has not stopped getting back into show business.

I do not believe they have their children's best interest at heart. Right now, if their photos are not plastered on her web site, then these children are growing and changing. Let them have normal lives and don't dress them alike and let them have their own personalities.

Hyperbole? Maybe I know too much about how those children are not a priority.

The whole USA is hot right now, people are without a/c/pools/even those who have lost homes in Colo.

Do I believe that all mothers and fathers are like Father Knows Best? Absolutely not and I think Kate is only interested in herself.

"Never would I accuse anyone of putting their kids in the chicken coop. Rather it was a way of saying she does not let those children out to experience friendships, enjoyment of other family members, etc."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Unless someone is there with them 24/7, how would this be known?

Anonymous Betty said..."I think many people are speculating and engaging in hyperbole."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think you're right. It's getting blown out of proportion and being passed off as fact, and as much as I am not a Kate fan, "insider" information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Katherine said -- "Hyperbole? Maybe I know too much about how those children are not a priority."

***********************************

How do you know this, and what do you know? Your posts seem to suggest that you are somehow connected to this family and have information that only an employee or relative would know. I know that this blog does not confirm inside information (one of the posting rules)..."The administrators are not able to verify the identity of people who comment here. Believe what you choose to believe," but one's credibility is better established when he/she doesn't hint at what he/she knows and then just leaves bloggers hanging.

Kate you live in the country...get use to it.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Shepherds do not eat other animals whole, and they don't eat teeth or fur. There's a reason WHY the dog did that -- either hunger, stress, neglect or something missing from his diet. Shoka should see a vet immediately for a booster rabies shot and be checked for bites to determine if he was in a fight with the animal. It's not known if he killed it during an attack, or if he found the animal already dead. If the cause of death was poison or rabies, this needs to be determined immediately so appropriate medical treatment can be given. There are children involved who come into contact with this dog; therefore, there are health issues, such as bacteria and worms that may have been present in the animal he ate. You just can't pass this off as something to be expected because he's an outside dog.

It doesn't help to say how I know. I can tell you that I would not post a lie. I read what is posted here and other places, some days, not always, as I think Kate is truly crazy, and sometimes I just say how I feel. You can believe or not believe but I think you realize I do not like how she has raised her children. I do not believe what she tweets nor how the children do not have lives outside of that house they are imprisoned to.

Creditability? Do any posters establish creditability? If I said anything either way about my knowledge, who does that help? No one. It just sets me up for more and more questions,then more and more allegations like "establish your creditability.

Someday maybe I will be able to write, but I doubt that I will, the truth and how I know what I know. But never would I harm those children.

I do think Jon would make a healthier parent for a larger majority of the time. I do not think Kate should lose her custody, I just wish she would get counseling, seriously, she does not it. I just wish Jon had the kids every weekend plus 1 night a week for dinner of regular food.

I don't always enjoy posting but when she persists with her tweets of lies, her blogs of lies and that phony web site, I don't know why she doesn't realize how much hazing those kids take at school because of her.They are older now, not babies, but 8 going toward 9. They should be allowed now to live like normal children. Not pushed back on TV. But again, I do not think she should be kept from being on TV, if someone would hire her, she would love it, but it would be real work, hard work, not like TLC kinds of everyone waiting on her. She should be going to a broadcasting training school if she wants to learn to speak and use her personality like I have seen in some interviews or co hosting she has done.

If every poster was asked to establish creditability, we wouldn't have any. I don't need to satisfy your curiousity and it is your curiousity that requires satisfaction.Have a great week.

Kate seems to be tweeting alot lately about the old episodes and how much they all miss being on tv etc...The kids need to stop hearing that from her all the time, and they all need to move on from that period in their life. It was a great time for them , but it was fleeting, and now it is likely over. The kids will take their cues from her and if she stops talking and tweeting about it, they will get over it. I just think she refuses to let the dream die that there is another show in the future, and her followers just fuel the fire. I just don't see it. Other networks like WE, Oxygen and even CMT have been trying family-based reality-type shows with no success lately at all. Its just not where the viewing interest seems to lie anymore.

When someone writes the above, then yes, any poster wants to know what you know and how you know it. There's nothing unusual about that. Any statement like that makes one wonder how or what the poster knows. It doesn't mean that satisfaction needs to be satisfied. On the contrary, if no further information is given, or the validity of statement isn't backed up, then the entire post may be taken with a grain of salt, just hearsay. In that case, there really isn't any point in posting, is there, if nobody is going to believe what is written? All it does is satisfy one's own need to hint, but never prove.

It's not being a matter of satisfying curiosity, but rather gives the reader some idea of how valid the assertion really is. It is then, of course, that the reader can choose whether or not to believe it. Oh, yes, it is.

"I do not believe what she tweets nor how the children do not have lives outside of that house they are imprisoned to."

------

Could you explain, then, how they are imprisoned if they go to school five days a week, nine hours a day and Jon has them two weekends a month, with more custody recently added?

Re: Kinman's post...

Kate needs to stop dragging her children into her need to return to her glory days of fame. It's over, it's done. These children are growing up to believe that it's their fault that they no longer have a show, and as such, they see their mommy crying and have no idea how to make it better. Kate is totally clueless that she can still give back, still take them on adventures and make new memories. However, she can not, nor will not do it without the funding of TLC and filming the shows. It doesn't appear to be all about memories and charitable give-backs for her, but rather the collection of a paycheck for doing it.

I really don't give a hoot whether your statements are credible or not but I definitely know that your statement about being hazed at school is way out there. I cannot elaborate on my statement without betraying a confidence. The credibility of this board, with excellent monitoring, was established a long time ago and making statements about kids in chicken coops and imprisonment in their own home just gives "Kate" fans something to criticize.

Maybe, just maybe Kate will leave that web site and sign off of twitter forever and just go see a therapist and leave the kids to see their aunts/uncles, cousins and all the people who once were in their life, not just on those videos that they have to watch over and over and see all the people no longer in their lives.

Thank you, just what I have been saying and no different than what most people think and say.

People who live in that town never see those kids and when someone did over July 4th, it went viral, as John had them, but they were spotted having fun, laughing and no one bothered them.

go to www.infdaily.com and click on Kate's face to see how her kids have to be around her even when she is doing something outside.

If those kids played sports or did anything outside of the house, it would be twittered and on web sites, it isn't. You saw them in the run in CT and then it was reported the above with John.

I do not think, especially with these blogs she puts on CC, that she is balanced and accepting that the TV days are over. She had her run and now it is over. Let the kids live normal lives and have a future not live in the past by viewing those videos. That is extremely sad. They do see all of the people who were in their lives and then she cries?

Too much drama for those young children. There has to be grief after a loss but it is how long since they stopped filming? She needs counseling.

My posts are my opinions. This is a blog, right? If I am wrong show me sites where there are photos or news of the kids enjoying their summer outside of that invisible fence.

By the way, no school in the Summer and see their father how many hours in a month? Then it is all with their mother. Kids need friends other than their own siblings.

I don't know why she doesn't realize how much hazing those kids take at school because of her.

Then she said:

"My posts are my opinions. This is a blog, right? If I am wrong show me sites where there are photos or news of the kids enjoying their summer outside of that invisible fence."

--------------------

The above statement about hazing is not an opinion, and I agree with Reading News in that statements such as this are over the top and have no place here for the reasons that she stated. Not only does it give fuel for the fans, but it makes the school look inept for allowing torture of these kids. It's just plain wrong.

Just because there are no photos does not mean that the kids are imprisoned. Kate has backed off twitter, and nobody here is with them every day and therefore, just because there are no photos or Kate blogging their every move does not mean that these kids are kept behind an invisible fence.

Thanks, I agree the way the post is worded it states a matter of fact rather than an opinion and the statement also had me concerned.

The family is no longer followed by the paps, so we don't know what the kids do day to day and that is a good thing. Even when the paps were around the older girls participated in activities such as soccer and there is no reason to believe that they don't continue to be involved in similar activities. We as the public are not entitled to see every trip to the ice cream store, every birthday party, every slumber party. The kids are getting privacy finally and I think that is the best thing for them.

kateplusmy8Whew! What a week! Braces (and all the changes they bring) and VBS at our church! We all survived and enjoyed! Fun family times! GN!

====

It's so nice to hear that these kids are enjoying this. VBS has always been the highlight of my kids' summers. Glad to hear her children are able to make these memories without the cameras in their faces.

VBS? Church? Didn't know they still went to church-glad for the kids, glad it was posted after the fact and not advertised ahead of time. 'WE' survived?...hope Kate wasn't parading around there in her short shorts, heels and tube top.

I guess she figures that by mentioning different companies, she will get more freebies. The newest tweets promote a certain brand of toilet paper, a famous doll company (Christmas IS coming after all! and I bet she would like some free dolls for the girls!),and others. And there is buzz about a new show for her and the kids. The followers are very excited about it. Is there a new show?

What’s meant to be will be. It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you’re not. Don’t let what others think define who you are. Be bold and courageous, when you look back on your life you will regret the things you didn’t do more than the things you did. What appears to be the end is really a new beginning.

SOUNDS LIKE LOOKING FOR A FREEBE AT ONE OF HER CONCERTS

Kateplusmy8: So cute hearing my little girls discussing how they r gonna ask @taylorswift13 to sing 'safe&sound' next X they c her at 1 of her concerts

the way I look it is -if a company choses to give product to kate, the obvious grifter, I can chose not to support them by buying their products. Yes I know I am only one person and yes I know I probably won't make a difference to quilted northern, coffee bliss or american girl. But I do feel better not supporting kate and her thinking of she is entitled to this product for free. I work well over 50 hours a week supporting myself, I certainly dont see any of those companies handing me free product.

*shrug* maybe Im wrong in how I look at it. But I am certainly not going to support Kate, not today and not in the future, she can work just as well as me.

Someone on another blog did figure out how many were fake and while I don't remember the actual percentage, it was high. There is a site you can go to which tells you the number of fake accounts that follow a particular person.

Just went to the place and checked Kate's Twitter followers...I found out that 15% are FAKE 49% are INACTIVE and only 36% are GOOD...So what percentage does that make that are actually following her??? And I bet a very low percentage of those are actually people that like her...Most of them probably don't know anything about her....

I think it means that SHE is only following 49 people (but I am not that great on Twitter rules!). At any rate..the level of public interest is certainly slowing down, as no pics of her vacation have surfaced and no news has been around. I think interest has pretty much faded. SO unless she has a bombshell announcement under her hat that she is gonna announce soon..I think her 15 minutes is pretty much over!

I guess she is doing home repairs lately and mentioning Lowe's supply store every chance she gets. Probably angling for some freebies or gift cards or something from them. Lowes DID tweet her back thanking her for shopping with them, so I wonder if they did give her something. She mentions lots of different stores etc.. in her tweets as if she is advertising ( or hoping for an endorsement deal or something). However, she is so much out of the news these days, people are really starting to forget her name and who she is. The tweeting is very boring and only from a few loyal followers really.

New twets are saying she is SO busy working on something secret and she cannot say what (although she knows we are DYING to know!) Someone even asked her if she could divulge a date when she CAN tell us, because we are DYING to know what she is doing! She says she cannot say anything just yet. I hope it is not a hosting spot on the View. ABC probably likes her now because of her great ratings for Wife Swap. Kendra would probably make a better host than Kate! She has her twitter followers in a tizzy. I was hoping she had gone away but every time I think that, she comes back and does something else! Her twitter page is an open book and she loves to tease her faithful followers, so it is funny to read how some of them fawn over her (and there are really just a few who post to her religiously and are fanatically interested)and she loves the attention!

"Every exit is an entry somewhere else" by Tom Stoppard. This was a quote that was on Kate's twitter feed today and Sherri Shepherd's (from The View) twitter feed today as well. Probably just a coincidence hopefully. I am NOT a Kate fan (just the opposite). I am just amazed to think that possibilities in the entertainment field still exist for her after all this time has passed. I guess I was a fan of the show when the kids were little, but when they had the sham of the wedding renewal vows in Hawaii ( a place that I would dearly love to visit but cannot afford) and the subsequent divorce soon after that, I became disillusioned with the whole mess. I do like Twitter though and cannot help but look at her page because she has some crazy fans who really want to emulate her and seem to think she is some type of role model. Anyway, I thought it was a coincidence that the same quote was on Sherri and Kate's twitter feeds, but maybe they "follow" each other and share quotes or something. I think Kate is very underqualified for that job though.

Danny Boy said... Once again she's on twitter sayin she is dying to share some big news that's keepin her extremely busy...anyone have an idea what? Oh dear goodness please tell me TLC hasn't decided to include her in the wonderful Moms week specials.

Happy 9th Birthday to my sweet six! Off to school with birthday hats on their heads (except for Aaden who couldn’t find one that he liked) and birthday treats in their hands…. God bless their teachers today due to the excessive jubilation and excitement that comes with the birthday territory!

I am in total shock that they are NINE already but am so thankful for the last nine wonderful happy healthy years full of memories! I love you my “babies!” See you later for our party!
